    I've got 12" calves... Honestly no that's not big. :) But I would assume they are rather muscular.

    most of these females wish their calves weren't so big, omg hate inc. it's only because they are hard to lose/grow etc.

    edit: i wish my chest was bigger! working on it.

    Mine are 12.75" and I would LOVE to have 14" calves! I have always thought mine were scrawny (I am 5'7" and have long, kind of gangly limbs) and would love to have more muscle. It's also hard to find things like boots and even leggings or skinny jeans that fit well in my scrawny calves but also fit my size 8 midsection.

    I am extremely envious of all of you with 14" calves. I wish I had 14" calves because I have 16" calves and can't wear cute boots. Have yet to find cute high heel boots with 16" shaft circumference. Most are wait for it....14"

    So to answer the question, no I think that's small. However OP I don't know how much you want to wear knee high leather high heel boots, so my comment may not help you.

    If you look around you can find cute boots that are meant for a bigger calf. I found some for my mother! I don't remember where though. You just have to have faith and scour the interwebz.

    I'm a shorty at 5 feet and have 14 inch calves. I can't imagine being able to take much more than half an inch off but only time will tell.

    For reference I guess having the same measurements to your arms is ideal for calves in the bodybuilding world. I'm about there with 16" calves/arms or close in comparison. It wasn't from hard work or anything, I was just fat for a few years to build the calves I think, lmao. Calves are really difficult to build from what I hear. Try to train heavy I suppose. Not sure! Genetics maybe.

    I have heard this as well. Body builders prefer their arms and calves to be the same size to look symmetrical. But to answer your question, 14" calves are nowhere near big. Don't sweat it.

    It also makes a difference of which leg you are measuring. I am right handed so I my right leg is bigger.
